I'd also say stormcast are pretty cost effective. The SCE half of the new box will be 1300pts of models for not much through buy swap sell or ebay and then you can just throw in some of the always available sequitors for 1500 and play decent sized games for a couple hundo.

And on the website I can see the same minis painted, but here I can see someone holding up the sprues close to a webcam? Yay? It's extra funny because he actually built the models and used a decent enough camera to show them off while rotating. The orcs looks good as hell.

I bought Dominion and sold the krule Boyz already. So I basically paid $130aud for the nice rulebook and a bunch of stormcast which is a great deal. I don't really understand why people are reacting to the new starter game having lots of stock compared to a one shot board game tbh.

Furism posted:I'm really surprised they chose to make the animations, apparently, exclusive to WH+. They should have signed a deal with Netflix or something, just for the increased reach. That would bring so much more people to Warhammer. If you stick to WH+ you're showing the animations not only to people already aware of Warhammer, but also already super committed to it (because they're subscribers to something very much optional). You're not going to sell them much more poo poo ; whereas it's hard to imagine how many teenagers would want to pick up a Start Collecting box after watching a Space Marines animation show on Netflix. I don't know that a major streaming co would want these crappy cartoons.

The admiral sucks but I take him every time so he can stand on the bow of my Ironclad the Heavy Metal Queen and hit people with his hammer. Also you can't expect multiple skyships to operate efficiently without competent leadership it's just common sense. I don't have any arkanauts and play Barak Zilfin. My battle line is always a selection of endrinriggers under a balloon endrinmaster and a frigate (I sometimes take two frigates for maximum boat even though this is not "efficient"). The rest is an Ironclad, one or two gunhaulers and thunderers. My favourite way to play is Ironclad with ten thunderers and an admiral, two frigates with five thunderers on each, balloon boss and endrinriggers. It's not considered a good list until the entire thing redeploys and annihilates a third of the opponent's army in one turn while remaining safe from reprisals. Everything KO can take is good. The khemist with spell in a bottle is notorious and a standout. An Ironclad with a harpoon and deal-breaker ram owns as does the Last Word cannon. Gunhauler spam is good and they have some good upgrades. Arkanauts are actually pretty decent for their points and the only reason I don't take them is because it's more important that I have all the guns. The only really weak unit is probably skywardens and that's only because they're geared to do something the rest of your army isn't (being close combat*) and their upgrades make them multirole which is underwhelming. *unless you class ramming poo poo with a boat and dropping bombs on it as close combat, in which case the army is pretty good at close combat.

Businesses also don't just look at whether sales are good now, they want growth. I'd just take it that they knew they were getting whales into WHFB and making money, but that's not the kind of customer you want for growth. I am interested to see what kind of game the old world is. I'm assuming it's going to be a whale hunting expedition unlike anything we've ever seen.

Just want to say what happened with Warmachine/Hordes is loving sad. I played a lot of that game with other people that were bored with GW like ten years ago. It was such a fun system with so much cool poo poo going on, I loved the trollkin models and game had great risk/reward. It's a real shame that it's nearly dead.

A greater commitment to school bullying is my only idea.

Done my test dudes and like them so it's on to batch painting the rest of dominion then play a game on Tuesday. Going to do the blades like the moonlight sword from bloodborne but waiting on some colours.  E: got to say big props on the new stormcast armour it's so much better than the blocky boys.

I need to clean these up a bit but the metal color range really takes a lot of effort out of proceedings. I thought about blasting on some colours or preshading the armour, but the metal has a bit of interest in it naturally and covered everything really densely on my test model. They're super cool when you put them in interesting light.

AnEdgelord posted:Sons of Behemat is putting up numbers at tournaments so I wouldn't be so sure Sure but they get accounted for on objectives while I don't think these dragon riders will count as more than one model. I guess if they're stormkeep and being battleline nets them the model count bonus early, but then they're going to be holding position and defeating the point most likely. I'd definitely be happy to relieve myself of taking three regular battleline units though and having a dragon riding general is super cool before you even think about the list stuff. e: they also might just haul rear end and kill everything on the board, can't contest poo poo if you're dead JBP fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Aug 3, 2021 |

DrDraxium posted:Looks good my friend. Boats are behemoths which are represented helpfully on the core battalions page by a picture of a dragon! Navigators are for denies and one has the pistol so I can fly in turn one, spend a gold and then kill whatever 500pt god monster the other person has brought with the entire navy. I'm trying to make sure I've basically always got commands to give and I think under the new system that the admiral might be useful for being able to issue differently worded commands. I'll see how it goes I think it will be fun. I haven't settled on the guns for the ten man thunderers, I've still got five to be built. I think I'll give them the variety, but I've always found having the range over the entire game really useful. (Edit: I also like to have them stay on board shooting from garrison and you miss out on the bonus to cannons then anyway, the ten man will be riding on the Ironclad) BS is good! It's a bit finnicky with loadouts and took me a minute to work out where your sub factions are etc but it works fine and everything looks correct to me.

DrDraxium posted:I have some friends in the professional KO realm and they think KO might be heading towards a more control playstyle as opposed to the surgical killers they were in 2.0, so having tons of rifles opens up more of the board to you so it makes sense from that perspective. Admiral will be almost an auto-take in 3.0 I'd say for the reasons you've outlined. That's a hell of a list. I feel like I take a lunatic build for KO (people love the haulers, I prefer big boats full of dudes). That's a lot of guys! I've always taken the admiral because it feels right. Being able to issue all out attack to the thunderers and on my mark fire on the Ironclad in 3.0 is going to whip hopefully. I also think being able to issue all out defence and repel boarders makes for a nasty surprise. His rerolls against heroes and monsters also aren't too shabby. Two navigators might be overkill but I'm going to absolutely poo poo on tzeentch armies with Zilfin plus two denies PLUS heroic denies. gently caress tzeentch basically. Also elves. I hope the tourney can go ahead. Australia with covid is rough right now but I think this is vaguely my 3.0 list and I'm super happy the admiral feels a bit more useful. Keen to hear how you go with your horde o' dorfs too. E: oh you've also reminded me that I can fill a hunters battalion. Oh yeah also how do you find the great volley cannon? I like having my flat 6 available and I've never taken the volley. JBP fucked around with this message at 10:00 on Aug 5, 2021 |

Furism posted:The Vallejo Metal Color line is what you're looking for. Specifically Pale Burnt Metal in your case. They don't come in spray cans, so if you don't own an airbrush you'll need to use regular brushes. But the paint is so fantastic it brushes on perfectly. Can't recommend it enough. Pale burnt metal is also God's own metallic. I used it for my sce. It's going to be way shinier than leadbelcher.

DrDraxium posted:Never used Pale burnt metal but I can sing to the high heavens about Vallejo's Metal Colour Line. I've exclusively used a mix of silver, steel and gunmetal grey to paint up my KO and they brush on amazingly, and I just chucked em in an airbrush for my vehicles. Both approaches work amazingly well. Pale burnt metal is my favourite. It's got a lot of character in it with little work. Grab a pot it's so good! Gunmetal is also great for things like Knight frames and it probably a bit more analogous to leadbelcher but darker from the outset. Just means it's faster to drybrush etc.
